Ingredients:
ground beef (one pound), mozzarella (one cup), and cheddar (half a cup).
onion, diced (half a cup)
minced garlic (two cloves)
bell peppers, sliced — half a cup
– 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced (if desired)
– Olive oil, measuring 1 tablespoon
Ingredients: – Two tablespoons of olive oil – Salt and pepper to taste – One egg (to make the egg wash)
Preparation
First things first: get the oven hot, around 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Second, sauté the onions in olive oil over medium-high heat in a pan until they begin to become translucent. You can’t escape that aroma, I swear!
Brown the ground beef by adding it and breaking it up with a spoon. Along with the minced garlic cloves, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the bell peppers and, if using, black olives. Then, sprinkle with the Italian spice. After a few more minutes of stirring, everything should be nice and cozy in the pan.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle that is approximately 10 by 14 inches. This will help keep it from sticking. Rustic is excellent for the soul; we aren’t seeking perfection.
